Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers says she's going to make a semi-surprise visit to the scandal-plagued FCI Dublin. 'I just want to show up,' she said.
A federal judge on Friday told the associate warden of the scandal-plagued Federal Correctional Institute at Dublin that she planned to visit the all-women's prison without much notice, so she can see how things operate. U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers told Associate Warden Pat Deveney that she was going to email him one evening after 9 p.m. sometime this month and show up the next day at 5:30 a.m. or 6 a.m."I don't want you to prep for it," she said.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Prisons attorneys maintain that while there used to be sex scandals at the prison, they are now part of a long-gone era because of new leadership.However, that is also in question.Deveney acknowledged at the hearing on Friday that five female managers were put on administrative leave this week.One of those managers included Capt. Ericka Quezada, who testified during a hearing that staff now know that there will be zero tolerance for abuse.
